+ [2013-09-22T22:55:58Z] jaybe first order of business - get/list the featured category posts… once done, get/list all else posts unless featured.

I think since I have no posts at this point in time, I'll settle for a static home page separate from the blog index, and I'll start working on a new octopress pagination plugin with support for sticky posts, in the hopes that somebody else might find it useful

oh pooped, I updated my gems which seems to have fixed the date_to_xmlschema issue but broke the site.date thing
+ [2013-09-23T03:11:17Z] jkcclemens Is there a way to use Creole with Jekyll at all?
+ [2013-09-23T03:16:01Z] b3tamax jkcclemens: What's Creole?
+ [2013-09-23T03:16:29Z] jkcclemens A syntax like Markdown; WikiMedia uses it. I think the site is wikicreole.org
+ [2013-09-23T03:16:54Z] b3tamax jkcclemens: I'll check it out. Don't think there's a plugin for it yet.
+ [2013-09-23T03:17:00Z] jkcclemens I had already written half of my documentation for a product in Creole, using my own system, and then I switched to Jekyll, and I'd prefer to not have to convert it all into Markdown
